PHOTO ART: Mini-Challenge #09 - Mother's Day Tea

Sorry I didn't make a card out of this.

I was messing with this one with smart blur when I noticed some banding, like you get with some gradients. I left them there and duped the layer then put the dupe through Redfield's Bas relief (oh no not again). I then changed the blend mode to overlay and the result you can see. I think it looks very like brush stokes, not perfect but a lot quicker than impressionist is at times. With a few tweaks it could be useful.
Maybe someone wants to experiment as well?

A picture lasts forever, (nearly). I just adjusted a bit, simplified and finished up with a frame.

I missed this the first time around. Better late then never.

Here's my go. A lovely pic to play with. I'm afraid I did way too much to remember the steps!

What a lovely image to play with! Did various basic alterations, then ran the Topaz clean - crisp style filter over it.
